Mountain
Hospice, Inc., is a nonprofit
organization serving six area counties. The Pendleton County branch
office is located on Main Street in Franklin and is supervised by
Colleen Plaugher.
Hospice is an in-home care program to help terminally ill individuals
remain in their comfortable, familiar surroundings and to enable
their families to continue to care for them.
The cost of hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most
private health insurance policies; however, persons are accepted
for Mountain Hospice services based on their health needs rather
than their ability to pay. Mountain Hospice does not charge co-pays
and will not take Social Security checks or attach a client's estate.
